#first overseas trip ever 😭???

[ghosttoasties]

gonna be across the globe in like three days and it's not hitting me yet

[extralively]

Your art is gorgeous 😍 I was reading your post about it, I clicked on the YT link, and I think the algorithm sent me into a rabbit hole.

Now it showed me this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEkviZp-aHQ

I haven't watched this drama in full and I have no idea what's going on, but after how you mentioned this is what the dynamic is like between Satoru and Yura, the interactions between Lee Sung-Kyung and Ahn Hyo-Seop from 8:33 onwards had me on the floor 😭💀

It's so SatoYura-coded 🥹

Thank you so much (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡ I don't think I've ever posted my art on the internet before, only been quietly obsessing with improving and drawing SatoYura stuff has given me a great excuse to do so hehe thank you <33

Oh man those scenes!! Those two characters aren't exactly like Satoru and Yura, but some of their scenes definitely feel like them, like this exact one you mentioned! You know damn well I'm watching these vids and taking notes 👀

And since you've given me the perfect excuse to post more of these scenes lmao, here are a few that I also think are very SatoYura-like (mostly forget about the actual dialogue, just focus on the actions lmao):

This scene (starting at around 9:24): think Satoru and Yura at school, it's the summer of their second year, they're watching a movie in his room and he accidentally falls asleep for the first time in front of her. So Yura has an idea...

This scene (starting at around 8:52): feels very them being silly in their early-twenties (even tho Yura doesn't have a car lmao, just never mind that bit)

From the same vid (starting at 13:00): Yura having to go on the rare overseas trip, and Satoru is pouting that she's leaving him despite the fact that he's always traveling overseas himself lol (and this is when they're already all lovey-dovey with each other)

There's also this kiss, but that would only be if Yura actually had the guts to make the first move lol. Maybe in an alternate universe!

.....and finally......

This scene (the first half of the vid): There's a scene in an upcoming chapter that was heavily inspired by this one... you'll see when we get there (ʘ‿ʘ✿)

There are more scenes I could post here, but enough (....for now.....). But if you get me going I won't stop LMAO

I read HSM when I was in Japan last week.

It was my first ever visit to this country, and my first ever overseas trip with a friend (I usually travel with family, and only had local trips with friends). And HSM is my first ever ABO fic. I have to say, reading smut in a hotel room at night before going to bed was a very relaxing way to unwind. But I also couldn't stop thinking about your masterpiece while looking at shrines in Kyoto, and also during the entire flight back home. Anyway, HSM is like a core part of this trip, which is definitely an experience I'll cherish forever.

Now, as I await the arrival of the finale, I'm going to write my first ever cover letter (send help, btw) in hopes of landing my first ever big girl job (send more help pretty please). Low key gonna make myself finish my shit first before I get to treat myself and read part 3!!!

Anyway, it feels like HSM is like this thing that bears witness to all these little milestones of mine, and I love your writing and your brain so much ugh!

Also omega reader is such a little princess baby and she wields so much power over him, slayyyyy!!! And girlita is really so dramatic and naughty and so cute 😭

japan!!! how exciting!!! i hope you had the most wonderful trip ever!!!

tbh i’ve never written a cover letter before (hallelujah) idk how i’ve finagled my way out of it every single time but i have, so i have no help there but omg big girl job!!!!! you got this!!!!! i believe in u !!!! i am now moving on from my first big girl job onto an even bigger big girl job and i am strangely, and for now, not nervous at all, but i’m sure that once the horror of all the responsibility kicks in i will be aptly terrified. advice to be given: pack your lunches and don’t eat out every day this has always been my own personal rule bc i like cooking and i used to waste so much money eating out (mom advice), talk shit responsibly — don’t forget they’re your coworkers and there are never ever Any secrets in an office Ever, pick your battles strategically and don’t forget it’s just a job and not the end all be all and you’re more important than corporate america (if that’s where you live sorry to assume) or corporate anywhere

GIRLITA!!!! i fucking love that hahahahhaha thank you so much for reading, for remembering little old me when you’re off on all your worldly adventures, for sharing this with me, for being here 🫶🏻 i hope you enjoyed the finale as well as the start of the story. i loved writing this one so much i found something so so special in her character and in the way she imposed herself on joel despite his fight against it. i’m so glad i wrote it and that i was able to share it with you 🤍

Do you have a sense of direction and if not what is the worst way you ever got lost:

Relationship status: Single although I have this perpetual crush on someone at work, and I’m annoyed/exasperated at myself because I revert into a tongue-tied, useless lesbian every time I’m around her. HELP!

Favourite colour: Red

Favourite food: Sushi

Song stuck in your head: In My Veins by Andrew Belle (I had sudden feelz about my Warden Niamh/Morrigan AU... 😭 )

Last book you read: Forever Theirs by Anna Stone. It came up as a recommendation. Not my usual cup of tea, but it was a great read.

Last book you enjoyed reading: Captive in the Underworld by Lianyu Tan. If you ever wanted a female Hades meeting Persephone story with BDSM elements, then consider checking this one out!

Last book you hated reading: Deadly Kiss by Ariel Marie. Well, the recommendation algorithm can’t get it right all the time. 😒 This book reminded me why I don’t normally look for smut when it comes to my leisure reading... Maybe it’s because I’m ace, but I just prefer some measure of substance before we jump into the sexy bits, y’know? 😂

Bonus: Bonus fact? Uh, I’m terribly near-sighted, I guess?

Favourite thing to cook/bake: Cookies.

Favourite craft to do in your spare time: Writing’s considered a craft, right? I think that’s the only thing I’m really crafty with. 🤣

Most niche dislike: This is mostly just related to video games, but there are just certain characters I genuinely dislike, and I can’t understand what people find enjoyable about them even when given evidence of said characters’ canonically-terrible histories and toxic behaviors. Along that same vein, there are in-game choices that people make that I will never agree with.

Opinion on circus(es) now and in history: I’ve been to a circus once in my life, and I was really too young to really process much of it. I think that had to do with the fact that I couldn’t see anything too well. If I recall correctly, I was more fascinated by the glowstick necklace I got prior to the show starting. 😂 I personally don’t really like the idea of animals being made to do tricks for an audience’s enjoyment, especially if we have performers willing to entertain them instead.

Do you have a sense of direction and if not what is the worst way you ever got lost: Ironically enough, my sense of direction is better in video games than it is in real life. 🤣 I live out in the suburbs of a major city, and when I had to attend university in the downtown area, I ended up getting lost for over an hour, and by that time, class had already started, so I ended up missing my first day of class.

Sam Chronicles

where do I start? I should be working or just doing something to enhance my life but here I am at 2:52 in the morning on November the 20th, thinking about and stalking my ex girlfriend's girlfriend. I don't know what it'll ever take for me to get over this woman. It seems I don't want to because she's clearly moved on with her life and I need to do the same. I just miss my soulmate. Mybe I'm not hers but something deep in my spirit tells me she's mine.

I go through my life hoping to find true happiness, where I'm fulfilled, I'm embaced by love... With the love of my life... Mybe I'm too fixated on the idea of Sam and I that I lose sight of what life is preparing me for.. Because I saw my prospective future wife in my dream... And it wasn't Sam😭😭😭. I wish that I could heal from this excruciating love for her, this relentless yearning for her, this unreasonable obessesion about her...

I can honestly sit here and rationally say that I know that it may not be practical to have her back ever....but I don't want to believe it, I refuse to believe it.... So God I've been begging you to help me, to let her go.....to allow her to find happiness with someone else elsewhere.

I need to forget about us as a unit but rather focus on my new chapter walking with myself, holding myself down and practicing the highest form of self love.

I have a lot is going on God as you may already know... I am nervous about my soon to be born niece or nephew and the comfort of my family,but the most aching feeling in my spirit is that I am soooo lonely.... I miss loving someone... Truly feeling and being inlove not just dating someone... I miss feeling loved by someone I love just as much .. I miss being held, being made love to, being cared for and nurtured... I miss someone actually showing up for me... Whom I'm excited about.

The last time I felt that way was in 2018 to be honest... I know I had a good run with Sinazo but that was not without suffering at the end of the day (emotional turmoil). I miss waking up in the arms of the love of my life.... I miss her silly jokes, how arrogant and self-centered she could be which would irritate me slightly, how loving and sensitive she actually was.... And how smart she is... Always dropping bombs and enlighten me with a different perspective....i will love her forever..... I know but I can not wait for the love to turn platonic because seeing her with another person is not easy.

But weird enough the relationship she has with that girl doesn't feel threatening.... It really does not aside from the fact that I do feel jealous. I do think she's probably into her and loved her and I'd happy... But it doesn't frighten my spirit and the walls of my love for her. Mybe if they get engaged I might feel alot but for now I'm very much not intimidated by the situation. What intimidates me is that it is possible that she is no longer into me, she doesn't love me anymore, and that breaks my spirit to think about.... Why wouldn't Sam love me.... Did she ever mean it when she said she didn't... Am I easy to get over💔. Am I not what she deems her soulmate.

I honestly wanna forget about Don, I don't think I got attracted to her for the right reasons. I think it's best if we cut ties... Well I already have.

Do you think that mybe I should move overseas... Post the storm being over? With my younger sister... Mybe I should.... I think I might be ready....i really want to fetch my life... Although I always wished Sam would be right next to me.... With our children in Canada.... Or Condor lol I've always been fascinated by a Condor... I'd drive through Kamloops and look toward to going back with her.... I'd imagine our first trip together, our exploration together, fooling around, trying new things.... Unfolding completely around her.....jumping in the water knowing she'd catch me.... I looked toward to our life together end a huge part of me still does....

God help me get over all of these dreams... Help me look forward to a new and better future... Help me get over this past life connection.... Help me heal through it.... Help me move past it and not allow it to affect me anymore.... Help me help myself.

Keep her safe and happy though.... Keep her fulfilled and content. Heal her from her wounds... Help her live the life she's always yearned for.... Help her career progression, heal her family trauma, help her become more secure in that she is deserving of love.... And help her gravitate towards spaces that seek to bring light and love in her life. Help her cultivate spaces which seek to see the best in her.... Help her remain in the shadow of your wings... Guide her steps... She deserves amazing thing to happen to her. I love her forever.

But it possible please bring back the love of my life. Bring back my Sam.

With Love

OMG NOOOO if u ever get the opportunity to do classics i highly recommend ☝️ assuming its the same type of course, i went in with no prior knowledge, i hadn’t done history in 3 years, i never read percy jackson, i knew Nothing but u honestly dont need any background knowledge to grasp it easily and its just such an interesting subject (and the potential of going on trips abroad is also a great added bonus 🤭)

im so grateful for my classics teacher shes so loved and she deserves it 🤞 one of my friends made a custom card for her with pictures of our year group from the trips we’ve been on and everyone signed it and she posted pics of it on her insta and said she cried reading it all ☹️☹️☹️☹️😭😭😭

~ Teppei Kiyoshi Headcanons ~

a/n: honestly been a real SUCKER for Kiyoshi lately I seriously can't get him out of my head I wish I had my own real life Kiyoshi to have and to hold 😭😭 well anyways here's a collection of random relationship headcanons I thought of hehehe 🥴

Love language is DEFINITELY physical touch (you can never ever convince me otherwise)

Always touching you or reaches over to say "hey I'm here" even without saying a word

However he's always subtle about it, whether it's just a gentle touch on the small of your back or a soft graze against your arm

Cuddle sessions GALORE this guy can never get enough of you

Movie nights movie nights!!

BEST HUGS UGH

Loves hanging out with your family!!! If you come from a huge family, he's always more excited for family events than you are

If you have little siblings or cousins YARDY KNOW this man will be the centre of attention and they will all just LOVE climbing and tackling him

Literally anyone and everyone can CLEAAARLY see how much he loves you wOw

Tradition of doing 2's together (every 2 weeks you go out for the evening, every 2 months you travel somewhere for the weekend, every 2 years you guys plan a week-long overseas trip!!!)

Always the first one to remember traditions and anniversaries

Honestly he can be a little embarrassing sometimes, always being a little too loud or laughing obnoxiously or picking you up and spinning you around

THE CORNIEST JOKES!! Sometimes just as good/bad as Izuki's 😂 regardless he's always making you laugh so hard you're snorting and tearing up

Gets 100000x more touchy when he isn't feeling good or had a bad day, really just wants to engulf himself completely in your presence :((( omg so cute

OMG HE GIVES THE BEST MASSAGES!!! He can always see when you've had a bad day so he'll always bring you a warm cup of tea or run you a hot bath and then an AMAAAzinG massage before cuddling until YALL fall asleeP AHHH the cutest

When you've have a REALLY REALLY bad day and y'all are cuddling before falling asleep, he'll quietly sing to you while rubbing your back 🥺🥺🥺

Refuses to let you commute or walk alone anywhere especially at night!!! Would rather come pick you up and make sure you got home safely than wait at home by himself

Everyone in your life knows about your big goofy boyfriend, he makes it known that you are taken but not in a cocky way, he's still very humble hehe

Randomly buys you flowers just because he felt like it

Slow dances in the living room because he wants to make you laugh

a/n cont'd: I seriously love with man :((( I'm so so so so sad now

BETWEEN YOU & ME

Baekhyun drabble.

1352 words.

Angst AGAIN (smh), some fluff at the end.

A/N: Someone take my phone away from me 😭🌸 forgive me for any mistakes. This is why I don't listen to new music, this always happens 🥴✨

♬♩♪♩ ♬♩♪♩ ♬♩♪♩

Baekhyun takes a deep draw from his cigar. He rests his elbow on the car door, his cigar hanging out of the open window. He exhales the smoke into the chilly air, staring aimlessly into space.

He had just returned home from a business trip overseas. It was a big deal; the whole weight of the company rested on his shoulders. It took an agonizing three weeks to convince another company to partner up with him for an upcoming project. Day to day dealing with strangers while struggling to speak in a foreign language and rooming with his annoying colleagues in a hotel was hell, but it was so worth it. Well, until he got back home.

His jaw clenches. Baekhyun had just got back from the airport, having stayed up for the entire 15-hour flight on an adrenaline high from how successful the deal went. He told his mom, dad, and friends. He wanted to share the good news with the world. He even managed to facetime his dog on the taxi ride on the way home.

His home. That he shared with his lover.

He had grabbed a bouquet of flowers during the rush-hour traffic jam downtown and a box of chocolate from her favorite locally-owned bakery. He had straightened his tie and settled his hair before stepping into their apartment to surprise her only to be greeted by an unexpected scene.

This bitch had the nerve to have a man in his house. On his couch. In nothing but her 24-carat earrings and the 500 dollar set of lingerie that he bought for her.

Baekhyun didn't even falter for longer than a moment before turning around and walking right back out the door. Jet lag be damned, he'll get the locks changed and kick her out in the morning.

He leans back in his seat, covering his face with his hand, the heat from the lit end of his cigar tickling his skin. Tears well up in his eyes. He's given her everything she could ever ask for. His money, his time, his love. He lent her his black card on multiple occasions and let her drive around in his car.

Baekhyun kicks the dashboard of the Audi, not even phased when his phone falls to the floor in a clatter. It's broken anyway; he threw it at the brick wall as soon as he exited the apartment complex. Her obsessive calls and pleading voice mails won't be reaching him anytime soon.

He blinks back furious tears, swallowing thickly around the lump in his throat. He feels so manipulated; so wronged.

How could she do this to me?

He has done nothing but provide and care for her for the past three years. He helped pay off her debt. He looked after her kids when her babysitter bailed at the last minute. Hell, he was going to propose to her, but now it's pointless. It's over. He was ready to spend the rest of their lives together and this bitch went and ruined it.

Baekhyun chuckles bitterly, snubbing out his cigar in the ashtray. No. He is not doing this. He will not smoke cigars like a chimney over some two-timing, poor excuse of a woman. He has a family and career to think about, with one less distraction in the picture.

A distraction… Now he wonders if he was just her opportunity.

Feeling tears spring to his eyes again, he grunts in annoyance, grabbing his wallet before stepping out of the car and closing the door with a startling slam. He heads for the club around the block, already feeling a headache coming on from the volume of the music outside of the establishment alone. The bouncer glances at him for two seconds before stepping aside to let him through.

Baekhyun heads straight for the bar, ordering a round of shots and bourbon on the rocks. He surveys the room while swirling the drink in his glass, envious of how carefree everyone seems to be. For the first time in a long time, he is the only sorry man drinking his woes away at the bar, and he doesn't know how to feel about that.

He gulps down the alcohol until he can't tell his left hand from his right, clumsily loosening his stifling tie around his neck. Fed up, he roughly yanks on the collar of his dress shirt altogether and stands up, stumbling his way to the exit. He needs to get out of here; he can't stand it anymore.

His vision blurs. The flashing lights blind him. One misplaced step on the back of someone's shoe and he's sent tumbling to the floor.

Baekhyun slams his hands against the wall to save himself at the last second, slumping against it as an irritated voice reaches his ears.

"Hey, asshole! Watch where the fu-"

He turns his head and freezes, drinking in the sight of you. You stand in front of him with your hands on your hips, nostrils flare and eyes ablaze. Your black dress compliments the curve of your hips and your fierce eyes glaring up at him.

There's so many things Baekhyun wants to say in that moment, but all he manages to do is burst into tears like a baby. The alarmed expression on your face does nothing but fill him with shame.

***

"Here."

Baekhyun lifts his head, taking hold of the coffee mug that you slide over the table to him.

"You don't seem like the type to stumble drunkenly through crowds," you mumble thoughtfully, resting his chin in your palm with a tilt of your head. "Rough night?"

Baekhyun solemnly nods, carefully bringing the mug up to his lips. He wins as the bitter taste of coffee spreads over his tongue. Bitter. Like the last image he's seen of his ex.

"Want to talk about it?" your soothing voice snaps him out of his thoughts. You look at him in a mixture of concern and curiosity, idly swirling your melting sugar cubes in your coffee.

Baekhyun hates to admit how easily those words have another avalanche of tears streaming down his face. He wouldn't mention this to anyone. Anyone. He notices you shift out of the corner of his eye, wondering bitterly if you're going to leave. How many times today will he be left behind? How much more can his heart take-

He blinks, leaning back when you wave a packet of tissues in front of his face. You're looking around the vacant cafe, giving him some privacy while he hurries to wipe his face.

"Look, I'd feel bad as hell if I left you by yourself like this." You turn back to him after his tears stop falling so heavily. "Give me a number. Who can I call for you?"

Looking at you, Baekhyun finds the strength to smile, chuckling softly. He recites Chanyeol's number that he has memorized, watching the way you tap your nails on the edge of the table while giving his friends directions to the cafe.

"He'll be here in 30," you cross your arms on the table, sighing in exaggeration. "30 more minutes with Mr mullet mystery for me."

Baekhyun's smile grows, his mood lifting the more you talk. He's sobered up by the time Chanyeol's wheels squeal loudly in the parking lot. "Wait," he rests his hand on top of yours on impulse, feeling heat spread over his face when you glance at him in shock. "S-sorry," he mutters, clearing his throat. "How can I ever repay you?"

"Are you asking for my number, Baekhyun?" you raise a brown, amusement dancing over your features. You chuckle when he nervously rubs the back of his neck, grabbing a napkin to scribble your number on it in blue ink.

"Thank you," he murmurs, hurrying to the door with a smile even though he'd rather sit and spend time with you more.

You nod when he turns around to look at you one last time, tucking your hair behind your ear with a smile of your own. "See you around, Mr. Byun."
